Here the list of prospective and known males from Xenon Bloom.
The prospective chimps are the chimps who have been seen only once, or we haven't found yet the match with other prospective chimps. Once we do the match between two prospective chimps, this chimp will be a known chimp and we will choose a name (here the list of names that have been used already).
When you find a chimp video, please check in this list, if it might be one of these prospective/known chimps. If it’s a new chimp (or we can not be sure) but we have good images/videos, we will add this new chimp to the prospective list.
In case your match proposal is rejected please don't get discouraged! Even the best of it gets it wrong, chimp matching is super hard! Please keep trying and participating and giving it your best! We need your feedback more than anything :) Also, please don't tag the chimps until the science moderator has confirmed the match.
To try to get more people involved in chimp matching and give everyone involved a chance at naming a chimp, we are going to wait until the end of the site to name the infant chimpanzees! So even if you aren't great at finding a match, participate in the discussion on chimp matching and you may be selected at the end to give a chimp a name as a BIG THANK YOU for your participation!
Thanks a lot!
Nuria and the C&S team.

Known Males
Communities they belong to are marked behind the names.
(1) for “Fishermen” (2) for “Travelers”, (0) for “not known”
(Quotes Nuria and Mimi) Please bear in mind that the community composition shouldn't be a matching criteria alone. It is of course helpful to be able to figure out how the chimp population may work, but remember that females can transfer between groups temporarily and males and females can live in neighborhoods, so although they would appear separate, they are 1 group and may interact occasionally. So let's focus mainly on the physical similarities.
